The video tutorial demonstrates an experiment showing how hot air rises and creates space, which is then occupied by cooler air. The instructor uses a lit candle and incense smoke to visually explain the concept. As the hot air rises, it creates a space that the smoke from the incense fills, illustrating the movement of air. The experiment highlights the principle that hot air rises, creating a vacuum that cooler air fills.
